Answer 1

Kelley,
How are you trying to express the implied commands in the instructions, with the formal or informal imperative form? Hint: look at what they used: espolvear (dust, sprinkle)-espolvoree Vd.

agregar (add) tú agregra
Vd. agregue
dar (give, part of a phrase here, dar a vuelta) tú da
Vd. dé
Servirse (serve (it)) tú serve
(Vd.) sirva (sírvase)

The instructions could be rendered in the plural, but since they didn't, I won't either..

another hint: the command verb subjects are you...add the precious (delicious) prawns. The number of the verb doesn't changes because prawns is plural.
quemar=queman
salir=salen
esperar=espera (not esperas because of the le) Are you trying to used the present subjunctive when you make these changes? If so, salir would be salgan, not salan.

Answer 2

Ok, good try. The script is using formal commands so you should stick with that through-out where necessary.

empiezan
quemen
agregan - agregue (command)
dale - de (command)
salan - salgan (subjunctive)
solitas
Se sirva - sirvase (command)
Espere - espera (regular)

Answer 3

empiezan
quemen
agregan
dale
salan
solitas
Se sirva
Espere

Answer 4
